The University of Louisville's women's basketball program on Thursday released a non-conference schedule including 11 schools that played in the postseason and seven with 20 wins last season.

That's on top of a daunting Atlantic Coast Conference slate that includes the likes of national powers Notre Dame and Duke.

The Cardinals open Nov. 14 at IUPUI, host in-state foe Western Kentucky on Nov. 25 and have rival Kentucky come to the KFC Yum! Center on Dec. 7. Another highlight is U of L's Dec. 21 game against California, a 2013 Final Four participant.

"We're really excited about this schedule," head coach Jeff Walz said in a news release. "Coupled with our ACC contests, we have some great home games that I think our fans will really enjoy."

"…I'm also thrilled about the players we have coming back, but also having the ability to show off our five outstanding freshmen. I know they're working really hard right now, and I can't wait to see everyone packing the KFC Yum! Center this season."

The IUPUI game will be played as part of a men's and women's doubleheader at the renovated Coliseum on the Indiana State Fairgrounds. Also, U of L faces Iowa on Dec. 4 in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.
